Deer Lake Wildlife, Views
Yumi and I took a 10.1 km (according to my GPS) ramble from our place in southeast Burnaby all the way to Deer Lake and back on this gorgeous afternoon. We saw lots of animals!
The view from the beach.
The turtles were out in force, soaking up the sun.
A huge tadpole -- it was almost as big as some of the frogs we saw.
Hope it's not an invasive bullfrog...
What's a carp doing in the lake? A dumped pet?
This frog seemed unconcerned at our presence.
Here's another one.
A pretty wood duck.
And here she is with her cute babies.
A waxwing convention.
Heading up toward the former prison farmland.
Dandelions ripe for blowing :-).
The marsh near the viewing tower is great for watching tree swallows.
Spectacular clouds.
